We can access our website from other systems, but when logged into the local machine where the site is hosted it does not resolve to the site... for example: http://mysite.com/folder/page.aspx gets a 404.... from the local machine we also cannot ping mysite.com ... What are some common things to check to troubleshoot this issue? I'm new to IIS 7 so sorry for the vague question.

Sounds like a DNS issue. Setup an additional binding to port 80 with a blank host name. Then access the site via http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1 - you should then see it. Then it's a case of diagnosing the DNS issue.

One solution would be to 'hardcode' it in the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts) as 127.0.0.1 mysite.com
